Abstract
Background
This cross-sectional study examines the link between chronic diseases and suicidal thoughts in U.S. adults using 2013–2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data, aiming to identify potential risk factors for suicidal ideation.
Methods
Using NHANES data, we analyzed the association between various chronic conditions (hypertension, diabetes, asthma, etc.) and suicidal thoughts, employing logistic regression models adjusted for demographics and lifestyle factors.
Results
The analysis of 8891 participants revealed a significant association between suicidal thoughts and chronic diseases such as liver disease, diabetes, and asthma. The risk of suicidal ideation is higher with the number of chronic conditions.
Conclusion
Our findings suggest a strong link between the presence and number of chronic diseases and the risk of suicidal thoughts, emphasizing the importance of integrated care approaches that address both physical and mental health needs.
